So get your feedback into us before then or be good little stalkers and be sure to show up to the live show!
This week on Girls Night In Kim host the discussion yet again where it was themed to go with the nature attacking discussion from the previous week. We started off with what’s been on our iPods or generic MP3 players and then moved onto the What If questions.
What If (We Answered Some) Questions (This Week?) 1. What if nature were to call at the most inopportune time (or has it already?), when would that be for you and how would you handle it? 2. What was a time when you witnessed nature commit poetic justice?
Wednesday, April 309pm ET, 8pm CT, 7pm MT or 6pm PT

But don’t despair! You don’t have to wait til then to get more of us! You’ll be getting our Nature-Themed What If episode next Wednesday, April 16!
So I’m in the process of editing last night’s show titled When Nature Attacks. It all seems to be taking a bit longer than usual. Reason one is that the show went much longer than it would normally! All of you had some fantastic stories to share and I simply can not wait for our listeners to hear them.
Reason number two is that I’ve been sick this week. At the end of last week I started feeling a bit “sinusy”. I have allergies so it didn’t really phase me. Over the weekend though I started getting worse. By Tuesday I was absolutely miserable. I asked my good friend Kim to drive me to a local clinic. You may recall from an earlier episode that I get car sick when other people drive. I had to have been feeling pretty darn awful to have her drive me. I was in and out of the clinic within a 15-minute time period. Diagnosis: sinus infection, bronchitis and double ear infections. Yesterday I was feeling about 200 times better than I was on Tuesday. I attribute that to prayers and adrenaline. I had a lot to do: meetings during the day and the show during the evening. I accomplished everything I’d set out to do, except for editing the show.
Last night as we were doing the show I thought of many more stories that I could share about when nature attacked me. Since we had a limit on the number of stories, I thought I would start blogging some of them. Before you think, “but Kim, you just said that the editing is taking longer than expected and now you’re going to blog?” Files are processing in the background, there is no wasting of time here!
Years ago I had a cat named Sam. I loved him and he loved me. We were like best buds. He’d sleep outside my door at night or on the foot of my bed if I let him in. When I’d nap on the couch he’d curl up against my chest when I laid on my side, just so that I could put my arm around him. He was like a child to me.
Sam’s only drawback was that he got temperamental when we would brush him. Certain measures had to be taken when brushing him: watch the way he wagged his tail, watch his breathing, listen to his purring, watch his eyes. There were certain cues that needed to be taken into account to consider when Sam had had enough. Apparently, I missed a few of them.
I was brushing and talking to him, losing myself in the softness of his fur when out of nowhere he jumped at me. He didn’t have any claws so his method of “defense” was to use his teeth. His mouth opened and came at my face. It was like slow-motion that I just couldn’t stop. His mouth closed down right on my nose. The two longest teeth on the top sunk into the top of my nose while the two longest teeth on the bottom went into my nostrils.
Thanks Sam, I guess we’re done now. Back to editing.
For everyone who missed my tweet Wednesday night, I listened to all my podcasts!!!! I had no podcasts to listen to Wednesday night, so I listened to the Rent Broadway soundtrack. Thursday morning two podcasts downloaded so I got down to 0 again (it wasn’t as exciting the second time but still counts in my mind). But then last night/this morning about 9 shows downloaded, so I am not currently at 0, but I got there, I got there twice!
I really wanted to post Wednesday night but I forgot how to log in to the website. I have now starred the email from Kim with the directions so next time I can find it faster. I couldn’t find it Wednesday and it was already past my bedtime (way past actually) so I gave up and went to bed.
It is really cool that I have finally gotten to 0 after months of trying ( I can’t remember what month Rachel and I started our war, see GNI Unplugged #2 for more details). Its kinda cool. Yay for me!
now if i could just beat Rachel at a war. maybe one of these days when i grow up and stop cheating ;~) [wait, i didn’t say i would stop cheating did i? hehe. ]
My parents had four children. Three boys and then there was me, the only girl. One lovely fall day day my oldest brother came running in the house carrying a harmless garter snake. My mother, a hair dresser (this will become relevant soon, I promise), freaked the heck out but like in the case of Y from Joy Unexpected, my father allowed him to put it in our fish tank that prior to this day housed nothing but air. A boy needs a manly pet, right? Right!
Two days later, while we were all at school, my mother entered my brothers room with an aerosol can of hairspray. That woman did some major hair renovation on that lil garter snake that he just wasn’t the same after that. Dead would be a good descriptor. It wasn’t until a few years later that we found out the reason for poor Gartie’s death. Mom is still proud of that hairdo.
Got a story like this? Think you could even top it? Share it for our next show When Nature Attacks on Wednesday April 16 at 9pm ET.
In this episode of Girls Night In we shared our answers on the What If questions. These questions were themed towards the movie The Princess Bride that we reviewed last week. We ventured into the Pit of Despair to bring you our painfully honest opinions along with some of the same from our callers. There really was a lot of pain in this episode; particularly the pain of not having one of our hosts present yet again.
What If Questions of the Week 1. If you had one natural talent that would make you “special” under certain circumstances (such as being ambidextrous), what would it be? 2. If you had to characterize yourself as one of the following, which would you choose and why? The Fighter, The Lover or The Fearful.
Next Topic Discussion : When Nature Attacks

What If Questions of the Future
Wednesday, April 16, 2008 at 9pm ET, 8pm CT, 7pm MT or 6pm PT 1. What if nature were to call at the most inopportune time (or has it already?), when would that be for you and how would you handle it? 2. What was a time when you witnessed nature commit poetic justice? The same thing applies to the word nature here as the way it was described in the topic.
The following show will be Maggie’s movie pick on April 30. It is Enchanted, so make sure you rent it, buy it or catch it on TV before then so you can give us your review.
In this episode of Girls Night In we reviewed and discussed the movie The Princess Bride which was directed by Rob Reiner; with Cary Elwes, Mandy Patinkin, Robin Wright, Christopher Guest and Chris Sarandon. We scaled the Cliffs of Insanity to bring you our thoughts and a bit of hilarity on this movie. With a change of pace, we were minus one of the girls. You’ll have to listen in to find out just who it was.
Announcement
Girls Night In is now a weekly show! This week you get the movie review and next week you’ll hear the What If portion of the show. Listen in to get all the details about this change!

Went to the orthopedist today to find out the results of the MRI. Turns out I have what’s called a bone bruise. From what I understand your bones have a bunch of tiny vessels within them. A bad fall can cause some of these vessels to break. If too many of them break, you get a fracture. if a lot break, but not enough to cause a fracture, you get what’s called a bone bruise. So basically I have a whole bunch of blood built up in the bone of my arm. Yeah, that sort of hurts. He said, if they had known it was a bone bruise sooner they would’ve put it in a cast. But since they usually have it in a cast for six weeks and it’s already been six weeks he doesn’t want to put it in a cast now. He actually wants me to start using it some to help build up the muscles around it. I have a new brace I am supposed to wear some. It’s another of the pre-manufactured kind, but it doesn’t hurt like the other one did. I start with physical therapy next week and will go back to the orthopedist on May 1. I’m not entirely sure how well it will go since I am still in a lot of pain, when not hopped up on my pain meds. But I guess I’ll just have to wait and see. Everyone was very nice to me today and the nurse said if I had any troubles, I’m supposed to call back down ortho. So I feel much more assured. What I found online is bone bruises can last from a few weeks up to four to six months. Not too thrilled about that. Considering all the nightmare scenarios I had running through my head this really is quite good news. It’s not actually broken and I don’t need surgery, yay! And hey, workman’s comp can’t possibly blame this on my tendinitis! plus it’s good to know that I’m not just crazy or a wuss for thinking it hurt so much.
